What initially sparked your plant based journey?

My plant based journey was sparked while I was working in a vegetarian restaurant in France and I got into a conversation about dairy with the woman who owned it (who was vegan). She showed me a 5 minute video on the dairy industry and that send me on a train of research into Veganism and it was just obvious to me it was the right thing to do.
